Macro partitioning
Consuming fish, especially oily fish, at least twice a week reduces the risk of sudden death and death from coronary artery disease.
Eat at least 8 ounces of oily fish (like salmon or mackerel) twice a week. Prepare it by grilling, baking, or broiling to avoid adding unhealthy fats.
GoodSupportsHIGH confidence
The consumption of 2 servings (>=8 ounces) per week of fish is associated with a reduced risk of both sudden death and death from coronary artery disease in adults.
Why this rating
Based on observational studies and systematic reviews cited.

- Total daily protein intake of 1.6 g/kg/day is sufficient for maximizing resistance training-induced muscle gains, with an upper confidence interval of 2.2 g/kg/day.Strong
- Resistance exercise training combined with sufficient dietary protein intake acts synergistically to maximize skeletal muscle hypertrophy, with protein intake saturating around 1.6 g/kg/day for general populations and potentially requiring 2.0-2.2 g/kg/day for resistance-trained individuals.Strong
- Trans fats should be completely eliminated from the diet, as they increase LDL cholesterol, decrease HDL cholesterol, and are directly associated with increased coronary risk.Strong
